Unfortunately, pine currently has no way of configuring the filename.  
Maybe, you should send a suggestion by pressing "b" from the main menu 
and selecting the option to send one.  As for the command, I would 
recommend "sz -a" instead of plain "sz" so the end-of-lines can be converted.

I used
sz _FILE_
also plain
sz

How can I configure it to either
1. let me enter a filename prior to download
2. take the Subject as the default?
TIA

I use this script:

#!/bin/csh -f
echo -n Enter a file name:\ ; set file = $<
mv $1 /tmp/$file
sz -ua /tmp/$file
